El universo freudiano de Dalí

The exhibition El universo freudiano de Dalí brings together paintings centred on the relationship between the work of Salvador Dalí and the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud. It is presented at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid.

The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid hosts this exhibition devoted to the painting of Salvador Dalí and to the ideas of Sigmund Freud that run through much of his output. The title places the focus of the route on the Freudian universe, that is, on the themes of the unconscious, the dream and desire that the artist explored in his canvases.

Visitors find a set of paintings arranged across the galleries, with the aim of tracing how psychoanalytic notions are translated into images. The route makes it possible to compare compositions from different periods and to observe the recurring presence of figures, dreamlike landscapes and objects charged with symbolic meaning.

The show is designed for enthusiasts of modern art and for those interested in the relationship between artistic creation and psychoanalytic thought. It is a suitable visit for an unhurried walk through the galleries, with attention to the details of each work and to its reading in a Freudian key.
